Every year in around mid-July Edmontonions come out to Churchill Square in Downtown Edmonton and celebrate the Edmonton International Street Performer’s festival. The Festival features over 1500 different outdoor performances by a truly international cast of street artists who come from all over the world. At the festival you can see contortionists, musicians, jugglers and even unicyclists, and the crowds the festival attracts are impressive, with often thousands of people congregating in the square. The Street Performer’s festival is just a 3 minute walk from the University of Alberta’s Enterprise Square downtown campus and is a popular destination for many Edmontonions looking to relax on a nice, sunshine filled weekend.
